Thank you all for playing the pre-alpha prototype!

We’ve reviewed your feedback and are actively working on improvements.

As some of you mentioned in your feedback that you'd like to look up keywords, we've created the Compendium.

In the Compendium, you can track all the cards you've already played. We also keep track of whether you've completed runs using these cards. In the future, cards from completed runs will be marked accordingly.

Feel free to complete your Compendium. And if you do, we’d love to see a screenshot! 😊
